Reports: 4 alarms ring for SW Houston fire

Television station KPRC reports this morning that an apartment complex in southwest Houston is burning, and a dozen units have been damaged.

The station says a car parked indoors may have caught fire at the complex on Highmeadow, and the blaze then spread.

The Houston Fire Department was called to the fire at about 3 a.m., the station says. KPRC said there was just one injury reported in the fire: a dislocated shoulder suffered by a firefighter.

Television station KTRK quotes a woman who lives at the complex, Maria Carbajal:

“I have no idea what really happened but there were neighbors screaming. At first there were some people arguing and then we heard some loud noises. There was a lady screaming that the apartments were burning and that is when I got out with my kids and my husband.”

The accident delayed drivers on South Gessner near Highmeadow during the Monday morning commute.
